Anyone know of a component that I can use to display XML data
in vertical columns, side by side for comparison without reworking
the XML - something like a spreadsheet layout or any comparison
tool you'd see on the web.

Awesome! Love that one word answer and the question mark
makes it even better!

It might be DataGrid, if I could set a vertical/horizontal
like in a Tile.
I've only been able to get the data to go horizontal in a
DataGrid.
ie;
item1.1 item1.2 item1.3 item1.4 item1.5
item2.1 item2.2 item2.3 item2.4 item2.5

What I'm looking for is the data to list out vertically, in
columns, side by side.
ie;
item1.1 item2.1
item1.2 item2.2
item1.3 item2.3
item1.4 item2.4
item1.5 item2.4

Yeah - I've pretty much come to that conclusion. But, wanted
to put it out there before I started and then found out there was
some sort of simple solution once I was finished. I'm surprised
there isn't a component that can do it. I would think it would be a
very common way others would want to display data.

Anyway - thanks for the reply and I was just joking about the
short answer… it made me laugh and that's good.

Ahhh - I forgot one thing. The rows have to be "connected".
So when there's more than one line in the cell, and the height of
that cell grows, the whole row has to grow with it, so all items
remain aligned no matter how long the "table" gets.

I ran into this a few weeks ago when I started this project
and had apparently forgotten about it.

I hadn't seen his reply when I replied, but his is probably
better than what
I'd have told you off the cuff...I probably would have just
used two
repeaters side by side instead of two nested repeaters. His
is more
extensible.
